/ 12:55 PM July 26, 2011

LAS VEGAS—Filipino world champion Nonito Donaire said Monday that he has settled differences with promoters Top Rank and plans to defend his World Boxing Council bantamweight crown in October.

Donaire, 26-1 with 18 knockouts, has not lost in 25 fights over more than a decade. He won a world crown in his third different weight category last February with a second-round stoppage of Mexico’s Fernando Montiel.

“I’m very happy and pleased to announce a recent reconciliation between Top Rank and myself and I am also extremely excited to announce that I will be back in the ring this coming October,” Donaire said.
